Michal Negri’s son, Maj. (res.) Roee Negri, rushed to Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7 without being called up and fell fighting there. Now she is running for Knesset with Naftali Bennett.
Three years after October 7, the former director-general of the Ra’anana Municipality describes how her son, a team commander in the IDF’s LOTAR counterterrorism unit, gathered his team on his own and fought house by house in Be’eri.
He was married just six weeks before. She explains why his choice pushed her into politics: “He didn’t ask. It wasn’t comfortable. He was in the middle of his flourishing life, and he knew that he has to save the country.”
Negri, No. 7 on Bennett’s list, calls for a state commission of inquiry into October 7. She describes the moment her husband told a senior officer who came to brief the family on the Be’eri investigation that he didn’t need to hear about Be’eri. He wanted to know what happened at 6:30 that morning.
She says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should have stepped down the day after the attack. She also argues that drafting the ultra-Orthodox would help unite Israeli society rather than divide it.
Drawing on decades in education and local government, Negri describes municipalities stepping in when national ministries collapsed after October 7.
She outlines her party’s education plan, which includes moving more authority to cities and principals, requiring core curriculum and Zionist values as a condition of state funding, and a starting salary of NIS 12,000 for new teachers.
